5th Ave Theatre Emerald Jett Interview


I'm very excited to share this interview I did about my musical Emerald Jett. Back in 2021, I was accepted into the 5th Avenue Theatre's First Draft program where they commission the first draft of a new musical. My musical Emerald Jett one of 5 projects selected and the only Seattle based project. Learn more about the program here and watch the full interview above!


Emerald Jett is a sci-fi funk musical about the trials and tribulations of a 34-year-old Black woman based in Seattle. As if navigating her way through the world in her Black Queer body wasn’t enough, Emerald soon discovers that she is in fact an alien from a Black planet with a superpower that she might lose unless she makes some much-needed changes in her life.

New Black Swing: 6th Anniversary




Happy #NewBlackSwing Day! Ahhh! It’s been SIX YEARS since I released my 2nd album. It’s a love letter to #NewJackSwing and other popular Black music of that time.


I LOVED MAKING THIS RECORD with Mead St. And I LOVED working with Nena SoulFly & Amanda Lopez on these photos SHEESH!

I played with the concepts of masculinity and femininity. I took style cues from artists like Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley, George Michael & Whitney Houston.

This album changed the trajectory of my career. Songs from this album were highly recognized & licensed. #WhatWeGonnaDo was picked up by #AdultSwim. #Wild went on to be featured in the Official Michelle Obama Spotify playlist and sold out as an NFT Hologram in collaboration with Popins!


Due to budget constraints, I was only able to release 1 music video for the song #Glitches which you can watch below.

Celebrate with me by buying (through bandcamp) and streaming the record 🥰🥰


much love
